NAME

       glib-compile-schemas - GSettings schema compiler

SYNOPSIS

       glib-compile-schemas [OPTION…] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       glib-compile-schemas compiles all the GSettings XML schema files in DIRECTORY into a binary file with the
       name gschemas.compiled that can be used by GSettings.  The  XML  schema  files  must  have  the  filename
       extension  .gschema.xml.  For  a  detailed  description  of  the  XML  file  format,  see  the  GSettings
       documentation.

       At runtime, GSettings looks for  schemas  in  the  glib-2.0/schemas  subdirectories  of  all  directories
       specified  in  the  XDG_DATA_DIRS  and XDG_DATA_HOME environment variables. The usual location to install
       schema files is /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas.

       In addition to schema files, glib-compile-schemas reads ‘vendor override’ files, which are key files that
       can  override default values for keys in the schemas. The group names in the key files are the schema ID,
       and the values are written in serialized GVariant form.  Vendor override files  must  have  the  filename
       extension .gschema.override.

       By  convention, vendor override files begin with nn_ where nn is a number from 00 to 99.  Higher numbered
       files have higher priority (e.g. if the same override is made in a file numbered 10 and then again  in  a
       file numbered 20, the override from 20 will take precedence).

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
          Print help and exit.

       --version
          Print program version and exit.

       --targetdir <TARGET>
          Store gschemas.compiled in the TARGET directory instead of DIRECTORY.

       --strict
          Abort  on  any errors in schemas. Without this option, faulty schema files are simply omitted from the
          resulting compiled schema.

       --dry-run
          Don’t write gschemas.compiled. This option can be used to check .gschema.xml sources for errors.

       --allow-any-name
          Do not enforce restrictions on key names. Note that this option is purely to facility  the  transition
          from GConf, and will be removed at some time in the future.

                                                                                          GLIB-COMPILE-SCHEMAS()
